BNET: business resources at your fingertips

Gale Cengage Learning and CBS Interactive have joined forces in producing website, BNET which provides free articles and information for business and business related issues. Used as a research tool, you are able to look up various topics relating to business, management, communications, strategy, technology and even free video links are provided. There are also links to their paid services and plenty of advertisements, but basically because the content is provided by Gale Cengage Learning, there is a level of accountability associated with the material that is not necessarily found on other websites. No logons are necessary although you can create one and customize your experience if you are so inclined.

Reminder: if you are working on a research paper, use the Ritz Library electronic resources which can be found by going through myDCC, Library tab, Search our Electronic Resources and then selecting the databases you wish to search through.

View the library!

Take a few minutes to log onto your myDCC account and check out the new channel located in the upper right hand corner of the Library tab. Click on the link and go on a virtual tour of the Ritz Library and when you have a chance, stop on in and visit us in person! A librarian will be happy to help you with all of your research needs!

Off Campus Database Access

To our returning students: to access our databases at home or elsewhere off-campus, you no longer need to sign up for an account at the Ritz Library reference desk. The old system has been replaced by MyDCC:

1. Log in to your MyDCC account (firstname.lastname and your password).
2. Click on the grey Library tab at the upper left portion of the page.
3. Find the section titled "How do I find information for research projects?"
4. Click on Off Campus Database Access.

You will see a page resembling the page found on the computers in the Reference Area. Simply choose the database you wish to use.

If you have not been notified about your MyDCC account, call 1-866-334-9179, the number is toll-free. You must have your student ID card with you, they will ask for the student number from it.
